It has been a very busy few weeks with lots going on so big ¬†lack of blogs ¬†.I have pretty much just going from one job to another ¬†so I’m catching up now . A Couple weeks ago I was covering the Rally of New Zealand for AFP along with Nigel Marple from Reuters , and Ross Land ¬†we all headed off to cover the rally for the three days.

in the three days we covered 1300 km and went from Northland to the Waikato.

Rally of NZ is one of my favorite  events that I cover for AFP , we sign away our lives get given a green bib and told to go nuts ,stand where you like if you get run over its your fault!!

the Rally is quite  a hard  event one to cover ,we would pick a spot that looked good on the map drive there ,load up the cameras up on ya back and then head off up the road sometimes its a 1km walk sometimes a 5 km walk  allways looking for that one spot that you think is the place to be it may be a great corner or a slight jump , the cars are traveling up to 200km a hour  on metal roads so you dont have much time. even with the Canon mark 4 camera that I use that shoots ten frames a second you only get four or may five frames before the car has passed and you are getting showered in rocks as the car blast off down the road

all good fun
